Approached by another micro-nation!!!

[Mr. Tony Weckström]

Esteemed members of Government!

I, as your humble Ambassador to Finland received an email from a representative of the Principality of New Texas, in hopes of a mutual treaty for Friendship & Peace.

What would the Government want me to respond to the representative on this matter, and in what way should a possible treaty be written, who would make a draft for such a treaty?

I await for the response from the official in charge for Foreign Affairs, and would also like to hear if we at all will in the future negotiate or form treaties or other co-operations with other micro-nations?

The government fields requests like this all the time, and I, as Prime Minister, respond on behalf of the Kingdom. I have, in fact, received (and responded to) a message from this particular micronation. If you wish to send me what you received, I will make sure that I have communicated our position to the same person.

Talossan statutory law (25RZ50 and 37RZ2, specifically) forbids our nation from entering into any formal relationship with a micronation, and this is the message that I convey when approached by any such entities.

Also, "other micro-nations" creates the impression that Talossa itself is a micronation. We can't control what others may think of the Kingdom, but from the Kingdom's own perspective Talossa is a nation, period. And if the Kingdom recognises a state, that means we consider them to be a nation and not a micronation, too, because if they were a micronation they wouldn't be a real nation and therefore we wouldn't be recognising them.

I know I'm confused...

We only recognize nations, not micronations. Were we to recognize a micronation, it would be because we do not actually consider them a micronation at all, but a nation. For example, Vatican City might be called a micronation, but we recognize them as a full nation.

[Nicola Damiana Aseria]

Makes sense to me.

I understand your point Alexander, but you must realize, even if you or I do not wish to accept it. That most of the countries in the world (Vatican City included) either don't know we exist, dismiss us, or only see us as a micronation. It seems to me that that view is wrong, but must be accepted as another point of view. I think, that we might as well at least engage (if not formally recognize) with other micronations, considering the more people we have, the more power we have, the more ideas we have to be formally recoginzed within the international community. By shunning the micronational community, we are but turning inwards and therefore drawing away from our goal of international recoginzation.

May I put on my Witt-Admin hat for a moment, and note that the Ziu board is for Members of the Ziu to conduct official business? Thank you.

[Sir Alexandreu Davinescu]

Quite right, your Majesty. I apologize.

[Dréu Gavárþic'h]

whoops. I totally forgot

[Mr. Tony Weckström]

With this I somehow agree. It would give our nation more publicity, and a better picture of what is going on here - and more people would might want to join!
